Around 30% of Websites Will Stop Working on Android Devices Running Android 7.1 in 2021

Nov. 14, 2020

Now, for the unaware, Let’s Encrypt is one of the world’s most prominent digital certificate-authorizing committee. When the organization came into being,it applied to include its “ISRG Root X1” root certificate in all web browsers and operating systems. These certificates are also cross-signed by Identrust with its own “DST Root X3” root certificate and are used by around 30% of all the websites on the web.

As a result, all the web browsers and OSes won’t be getting support for the “ISRG Root X1” root certificate from Let’s Encrypt. Hence, they will no longer work with websites that use the group’s collaborative certificate.

Now, apart from affecting around 30% of the websites, this situation would not affect any other functionality of the devices. Moreover, older Android device owners can use the Firefox browser, which uses its own certification which includes the ISRG root certificate.
